There is a chief for one Lien Pao. each unit, who is either the elder

of the village: the appointee of the district government, or the choice of the people in the unit.

To show how the system works,

It can be imagined that the pro- vincial highway between Hankow and Ichang needs repairing. The provincial government w notify the different hsien, or district, governments through whose terri tory the highway passes. The 'magistrates of the halen will each gather the heads of Lien Pao and talk over the situation.

These will in turn gather the chiefs of their sub-divisions and make the necessary assessments and allot the number.of labourers that each should provide. At the appointed date repair work along the entire highway would be start- ed with material and men provid. ed by the different units.

All the provincial government has to do is to supply supervisors for the repair gangs and to map out a schedule for the work to be done in each section of the road.

PROTECTIVE FEATURE

The protective feature of the system is based on the principle of mutual guarantee. Not only is the head of each Chia answerable for the good behaviour of the ten familles but the families. them. selves are each responsible for the other
